The one weakness in our performance today was this fella scared to come out his box. 

Thankfully he didn't have a save to make

Again Ekitike - thank you !!

If Isak gets golden boot

Ah Mr Al-Khelaïfi fancy bumping into you in this random coffee shop !! Jokes aside Bruno is better than PSG.  He wouldn't go back to France. If it's not RM it'll be City.

We don't need to keep up with them to be competitive.

Define competitive? If we're ever going to consistently challenge the big six we need to be able to go for the same calibre of players. But if the top clubs just continue to get richer they will always be a step ahead with regards to what they can spend.

All the above, stadium naming rights potentially and confirmation on the training ground and stadium plans. There was never any way we are going to catch the revenue streams of the big 6 in three year also.

Never mind catching them we can't even keep up. The new rules just make them even richer.

Not rather have Europa?

Not sure. Squad is decimated I think we could do with a season of calm. I really don't think there will be any significant investment in Summer.

Man City looking to spend their new found wealth 

Quote

Manchester City are leading the race to sign Bayern Munich's 21-year-old Germany forward Jamal Musiala

I have to admit I don't get how City have such a large commercial income - outside of the UK I have never come across a City fan. According to Mark Goldbridge..

Man City have a global estimated fanbase of around 5 million where as Man Utd have a global estimated fanbase of around 500 million yet City (supposedly) have a larger commercial income.

This guy is keeping track.

Good if true - as no chance we're getting 5th so will take revenue away from Villa or Spurs.

This helps

I find it farcical that they don't take into account the debit a club has i.e Man U - whilst they have a large commercial income they are nearly a billion dollars in debt. 

I enjoyed that 

And it gets better  great goal

Liverpool 

Presumably these new rules get the likes for City and Chelsea out of jail?

Im not hugely against being limited to spending 85% of turnover. It's them determining how a club makes that turnover is what makes it a pisstake.

Not great reading, we would be in breach if it applied now - not withstanding last years accounts are  a poor point in time reference to judge our off the field progress.

Corruption at work in plain sight.  I just pray the club challenge this in the courts otherwise we are stuffed.
